If you live in Katy, Texas, you probably already know about some of the fantastic parks available for recreation in the area. If you’re new to Katy, or live in a neighboring suburb or the city, you might be missing out. Katy retains a lot of small town, historic charm just minutes from Houston but still manages to have a lot of options for leisure activities to keep us all busy (or relaxed) this summer.

Katy Heritage Park, the home of the Katy Heritage Society, offers a look into the life of Katy residents in the early 20th century with free historic home tours. For a continued since of traveling back in time, head over to Thomas Park for a tranquil, old fashion stroll or a picnic in the shade of the gazebo.

When it comes to our pets, it’s important to keep them safe and healthy as much as it is to keep them stimulated and entertained. An issue any time you take your cats or dogs outdoors for a fun-filled day is the potential of those annoying hangers-on: Ticks and fleas. Ticks are especially dangerous as they can live unnoticed for quite awhile on our pets, in our carpets and even on our own scalps!

Ticks can spread disease, namely lime disease which can cause long-term damage or even be fatal if not caught and treated properly. Fleas can be brought in on backs of our pets or even on our own shoes and clothing.

Our Katy pest control professionals can quickly assess and eliminate a flea or tick infestation.
